The couple, who had just returned home from a weeklong vacation in Hawaii, wrote a letter in response to the airline.

“I assure you that neither of us are ‘Dumb!’ Rather, we are both hard-working individuals and responsible parents. We certainly deserve to be treated with dignity and respect.” Moehle wrote. “We demand not only an immediate apology from American Airlines, but also that disciplinary action be taken against the employee who wrote the unacceptable note.”

Thanks for watching!

American Airlines later issued an apology and said it is investigating with employees at George Bush International Airport, aka Houston Hobby.

“We apologize to Mr. Moehle and Ms. Huckaby,” the airline said in a statement. “It was clearly a very poor choice of words. We’re confident there was no ill will, but we’ll be looking into this further and will be following up with our team members at IAH and the contractor that provides our baggage delivery services.”
